Radioshack unannounced new PS Vita price $199.99 - Xperia Play General

I have a friend from church who works for Radioshack and he informed me that yesterday internally the vita is now $199.99 for the wifi model. He says the stores still list it at $220. Just letting everyone know. If you want a Vita you should hit up Radioshack.

I nearly bought a vita the other day as 'Game' here in the UK are doing it with 10 games (downloads but includes LBP2 and wipeout 2048) for £169.
What's support like now though? Worried about future games as the available game section is tiny for the vita!

PS Vita sales numbers have been abysmal since launch and remain so now, so as for future game support.. I wouldn't be optimistic.
The 3DS (somewhat different target audience) even after a slow launch has outsold the Vita by about 6x.

It's a shame as it looks such a good machine. I bought 2 PSPs a couple of weeks before they were released here in the UK from an import place for £500 and it was such an amazing machine at the time it was worth it.
Just watched a video of some guy comparing it to the shield and while there's a large gap in hardware the fact remains that android is a multipurpose system that needs additional power. Vita is gaming specific and doesn't need to be as powerful. Same with the current consoles. If you built a pc with the same specs as a 360 it would be rubbish for gaming so it's a little unfair comparison.
Also, the Sheild isnt available here yet!!

I bought my missus a 3ds a couple of years ago and she has about 3 games on it, one of which is asphalt which I bought for myself. The games she has (the new Mario's) are still so expensive it's ridiculous!

Who will be gettin the TF700 ?

Should be in stores July 16th. Amazon is offering up to $250 credit for TF101 in good condition ... tempting.
Hoping Microcenter near me will have one in stock to play with, see if it is that much better than the TF101 (2 of which) I have

I have decided that since I already have two 10" tf101s, I really want to get the Nexus 7 right now to replace my tf101 as my "on-the-go" tablet.
I read the iconia 700 review, and it seems the Tegra3 is still a bit weak for driving the 1920x1200 screen as smoothly as the 1280x800 tablets.. so I will hold off on getting a new 10" tablet until the next round of 1920x1200 (or maybe 2560x1600??) comes out with beefier GPUs. I'd gladly take one with the new MALI405 GPU and a Cortex A15 based CPU.
I want one but can't afford it

I really want one, but I have the same concerns about the GPU. There is a reason why Apple (not that I like Apple) is using dual core, instead of quad, with a huge GPU in their new tablet. I was not at all impressed with the Tegra 2 GPU, and while the the Tegra 3 is better, it's not good enough to push that high resolution. Since the Tegra 4 will both have new CPU and GPU architecture, I may just wait. I'm only buying the Tf700 for the resolution, and I'll need a good GPU to push that.
I like hi-tech stuffs and have no problem affording the TF700. Currently having 1GTablet, 2x TF101s, 1x Nook Color, 1x Galaxy Player 4. I have enough Android fun ! I am waiting to try the next Asus Windows RT device.
My favorite TF101 has satisfied all my real needs.
I'll be selling my TF101 for the Nexus 7, I want to get a good taste of google-driven goodness for once, and this one actually looks like something I'd buy, unlike the earlier Nexus devices.

My Nexus 7 is on order. Originally I was gong to get the 700 and eBay my TF101, but decided to keep the TF and get a N7. Tegra 3 just doesn't impress me enough especially when combined with the high resolution of the 700's screen, to replace my TF.

Are you still waiting for it from Play? I just went to Sam's club and bought mine yesterday. I'm going to give the one I ordered from the play store to my sister (When it comes). Google really has a problem shipping devices. I was mad when I found out GameStop and Sam's Club was selling the tablet before Play Store shipped theirs.

Yes, I ordered from the Play Store and I'm waiting. But I ordered it after the release, not a pre-order. It's not a big deal. I'm not in a hurry. I own 2 other tablets, and 4 PC's. The N7 is just another toy.
FYI - I was already able to order both the TF700 and the TF700 dock from a big name retailer! Won't be delivered until Wednesday though. Yes - I know that it will be officially released on Monday, but...

I WISH I was gonna buy the TF700... I'm lucky enough as it is to have this TF101. I've only had it for a couple months and I was honestly kind of surprised it still had such a large userbase still, as in my mind it seems pretty low powered (though I may be incorrect...)

beside tht is it the right time to order Note 2 coz I purchased galaxy SIII as soon as it was launched for 42500/- it went down to 37500/- within a month....

Look mate. Every gadget ever produced will get beaten by something better. So there is nothing future proof. S3 was in a lot of demand just like the note2 is now so sellers were making a lot of premium. Once the demand settled it got to its actual price. I expect the same to happen with note 2. I think if u will buy it on the day it becomes available you will be paying atleast 3000 more than the price after 30 days of launch. But then i guess thats the price of being some of the 1st people to have it.
So if you want the best device atm, buy the note2. If you want something good the future, i am afraid yoh will just keep waiting.
Hope that helps.
Cheers!!!

i was a s3 owner ..sold it 2 days back now waiting for note 2
galaxy s3 is still future proof..there is no app/game out yet that will work on note 2 and not on galaxy s3 because of more ram or faster processor
prices will go down if you wait more...s3 16gb is available for 33-34K now..
so the decision to go for it now..is again up to you..can you wait couple of months to get the fastest mobile on the planet just for a few thousand rs. less ..i know i cant

As the price has fallen down to 33000/- I have a 4 months used SGSIII n its getting sold out for 28000/-
I went to a Samsung store y'day in Kothrud, Pune for having a look at SGN2.
He did not have and said it'll come in an hr.
Price of S3 has droppoed to 32,400 n he said SGN2 will be smwhr betn 35-40k...
He also added, i'll have to book SGN2 and deliveries will start from 5th Oct.
M waiting for exact price and will then buy...
Flipkart is too still showing it as a "pre-order". My guess is that they would be one of the first to get units.....Damm, the wait is killing....
If I call my neighborhood retailer again, he will probably think I am really desperate and hike up his price to me....
I had played around with a white GN2 yesterday and it's awesome. No multi-windows support but that Samsung has clarified would be available as an update soon.
In Delhi deliveries are going to start by today late evening according to the same dealer with most dealers getting stocks today. The best price quoted to me was 39,000 without the bluetooth headset, which I really don't care about. However, the dealer wants an advance in the morning today for delivery in evening. He also has no clue whether he will get both the colors or just white initially.
Though I was very excited about the device, I have decided to wait till the end of this month before I get the device for a few reasons.
1. Expected price drop. There a good rumors that this phone would be priced lower soon, around 37,500, which is the price a few readers on this forum got as well. A site called uniquekart.com already quotes this price.
2. eBay Diwali Offer. There is no hint of eBay diwali offer yet but if I am buying this expensive phone, I can wait a bit. Most likely eBay will give a free 1TB hard disk as a free gift, but hey that's great.
3. EMI. Dealer currently was offering only 6 interest free EMIs, though the VP clearly mentioned 9 months.
4. Other Diwali offers. Samsung is expected to launch diwali offers.
5. Lack of accessories. Buying now means you will not be able to get any accessories including basics like scratchguards.

I am tempted. Very tempted to buy. It's also likely that if I visit the dealer again and he has stock I would probably too. But, I have done this in the past and I am just going to use my head a bit better this time.
I am not waiting till Diwali. Just till the offers start around 15th of this month maybe 20th. Pre-orders are anyways shipping after 8th. So, two weeks perhaps. A free 1TB HD worth 5k is not a bad deal. Even now, you could pre-order on ebay with a free Asha phone worth 4K, which you could gift to someone if you want.

Sony's latest flagship phone was announced just a few days ago, and now we have a UK price and release date. The Xperia Z2 will touch down on 1 April, and will cost £544.98 SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles.
Unlocked Mobiles is throwing in a few goodies as well. You'll get a free SRS-BTM8 speaker worth £79.99, noise-cancelling headphones worth £20, and "content" worth £100.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 was also priced up this week, with Unlocked Mobiles whipping out its pricing gun and slapping on a tag of £599.98. The Samsung flagship will go on sale on 11 April.

Wasn't the Z2 supposed to go on sale in March? Does anyone have details on further Europe release dates? And where to find these when they come up?
To me the samsung doesn't have much going for it when its even higher priced than the Z2. Who would pay more for SGS5 when you can get a better device for less, with included gadgets? Possibly people who will get Samsung no matter what and can't steer away or are not informed.
---------- Post added at 01:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:03 PM ----------
There is currently one shop in Finland that has priced its pre-order for the Z2 at 672 € for all different color options. This is usually not the cheapest place to get phones from. No detailed availability date but they say its due in March.

Two things we did not like about the Xperia Z1, was the display and the camera module when it launched late last year. The price tag certainly dropped in December with the phone now being available for Rs 37,000.
At this year's MWC, Sony unveiled the Z1's successor. The Xperia Z2 seems to have addressed on the issues that plagued its predecessor. The new display as Sony puts it, is “a brand new technology integrated only into Sony Mobile displays, for increased colour depth and gradation. And the IPS gives an excellent viewing angle and accurate colours from edge to edge”.
Sony claims that camera processing algorithms have also been tweaked to deliver lower noise levels compared to last year’s offering. Additionally, there is also the much-awaited 4k video capture and background defocus and many new shooting modes. With so many improvements (even with the design and processor) and new features like Noise Cancellation, we can easily say that this year’s Z2 will easily beat the competition. What’s more interesting is that the smartphone has already hit pre-order in Europe in a number of countries.
The pre-order price is pegged at EUR 599 euros in Germany and 599 pounds in the UK, which should roughly translate to Rs 50,000 in India.

Wasn't the Z2 supposed to go on sale in March? Does anyone have details on further Europe release dates? And where to find these when they come up?
To me the samsung doesn't have much going for it when its even higher priced than the Z2. Who would pay more for SGS5 when you can get a better device for less, with included gadgets? Possibly people who will get Samsung no matter what and can't steer away or are not informed.

There is currently one shop in Finland that has priced its pre-order for the Z2 at 672 € for all different color options. This is usually not the cheapest place to get phones from. No detailed availability date but they say its due in March.

Exactly! Pay more for less, sounds like Apple's theme on smartphones. Z2 first smartphone of 2014 with 3mb of ram which i would think by today is the standard. S5 with only 2mb and HTC M8 benchmarks showing only 2mb as well. S5 water resistant for a water spill and Z2 to actually take underwater pictures, HTC will wall behind and overall non of the above. Z2 with much larger battery and better stamina modes then S5 and we all know HTC's battery track record. Of course many will say 2mb of ram is enough, sure but you trying to say 3mb is too much? LOL! More is better in this department IMO. Just not liking the idea of the Z2 all glass back and front.

Sony's latest flagship phone was announced just a few days ago, and now we have a UK price and release date. The Xperia Z2 will touch down on 1 April, and will cost £544.98 SIM free from Unlocked Mobiles.
Unlocked Mobiles is throwing in a few goodies as well. You'll get a free SRS-BTM8 speaker worth £79.99, noise-cancelling headphones worth £20, and "content" worth £100.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 was also priced up this week, with Unlocked Mobiles whipping out its pricing gun and slapping on a tag of £599.98. The Samsung flagship will go on sale on 11 April.

And when it comes out in the States the carriers will only include the device and a wall charger. Always gettin the shaft in this "goodie" department. Remember when the HTC One came out and in Europe offered free set of Beats earbuds retailing around $100. Here in states ATT, phone and wall charger.

Who ever said anything about 3gigs of ram? And that its too much? Wut are you talking about? I think its great and sony one of the first phones to have that.
Samsung has to make some differentiation between their models so I think its a strategic decicion to have 3 gigs only on the Note 3.

Swedish retailers has it for 6000SEK or roughly about 680Euro but almost every retailer has a pre-order bonus where you get the smartband so subtract a 100euro from that and you get the Z2 for 580

Out of curiosity I just check their site(already pre-orded for $799) they have them listed for $969.99, $789.99 & price not announced. I'm guessing the no/high price were the earlier listing and should have been taken down.
I wonder if they will go down even more before release? Many of the other US sellers also lowered the price recently(including where I ordered mine-to what i'm paying, $70 less).
